     Oita province as a center of street corners of life styles target called “Yugyomi Concert” (Oita Godo newspaper as a sponsor). It was held on 7^th at Oita province’s grey Take city’s Dome the local musician stores were presented as an offering places of new kind of the attempt.

      The citizen who love music just come to the street, exchange their life styles which is making it more fun. On June at the same place and cent poleter around the center dome will be opened every week on Saturday. At the first day, violin was played by the lecturer named Enta Megumi –san (29 years old) and the piano lecturer named Ogamura Mariko – san (29 years old) that showed as a duo using the name “Teto”.

People who go there just stop on the street, and get in touch with the beauty of color of the music. One of the sponsors group in Oita said “If the shops on the street are set to be a new kind where they could present it as a fun place, of course there’ll be more customers for sure.   

    “Today it is good to see the festival held on the street again” that is the kind of event I want to set up and to hear people say like that. 

Comment:   Thailand also have the specific area called Center Point, which is the same kind with the street corner, but there are lots of things and other kinds of festivals for people. There are also the famous guests (almost are singers, musicians both olds and news) that are invited to join in the festival among the eyes of many people, it is the area for promoting and sailing VCD, tapes of those people for someone who want to buy as their memory collection because some released products were sold out since the past. It a good idea that give a chance to new generation do what they like to help them express their creative ideas and talented in a public place maybe they can create a famous product that will be a master piece as the international level in the future.
